NQ - Daily / EPS Squeeze on Low Volumes / Trap Door Opens Again
Wall Street and its beloved twists and turns are ever-present during the Summer Months.
Apres June 21st, an environment of predatory and opportunistic Counter-Trends always seem to manifest into Labor Day, or so it went.
I believe you may or can toss that out the window in the near future - prior to the FOMC spike hike July 27th.
The Fed is poised to deliver another bigger-than-usual rate hike at its next meeting on July 27th. It desires to "tame inflation" now running at more than three times its 2% goal, with fears growing that the economy will tip into recession as a result.
The Upper Decker kicker -Daly suggests - "The labor market is strong enough to take more rate increases."
There has been an extreme number of Layoffs recently, largely ignored by the Investing Public.
3.6% Unemployment at a Labor Force Participation Rate of 61%.
372,000 "Jobs" Added.
According to the Ministry of Labor and Statistics.
Once again, numbers do not lie, liars do.
388,000 People left the Labor Force - Jobs Fell.
Add in a seasonal Adjustment of .1% and we simply add 411,000.
799,000 People abandoned the Labor Force.
Not a strong Jobs Number when the headlines are ignored and the Facts are accounted for in sum total.
People DO NOT have an incentive to Participate.
Ask yourself WHY.
There will be another BLS adjustment in hindsight @ .2% or another 800,000 Jobs.
There are 1.6 Million Jobs left for dead. Gone, Poof... Adios Jobs.
Believe the Bullsh_t or do the Work required to determine the Facts.
Conde Nast - No. of Employees Laid off: 90% - adios publishing, Vogue, Vanity Fair, et al.
For All Tech - the Numbers are rather large, San Franciso is about to see the Unicorn haven status revoked entirely. Every Firm Mega, Large, Mid, Small is letting go of its Peeps. Adios, enjoy Van life in Slab City.
What's the TRADE PLAN? Simple, fade this Junk Co Junk out through October, then again post Selections into February.
We will peak this month on this fraudulent Counter-Trend off the SloMo into a very Mild FOMO.
Participants will need to be dragged kicking and screaming back into this decidedly messed Trap n' Snap.
The Economy is deteriorating at an outsized pace, it is a terminal decline. We'll see where this week's TOSS takes us, we're positioning into PUTS across the Curve and Loading Up on the VIX Contango to the Inversion. Counter-Trends in Depressions can have an all-or-nothing approach to them, why not, what's left to lose...
Q2 will be extreme in the sheer show and tell of destruction.
Prepare yourselves for the next very large move down.
